A major complaint about Google's Chrome web browser has been that so far, it is still not available on anything other than Windows. Google promised to deliver Chrome to Mac OS X and Linux as well, but as it turns out, this is a little harder than they anticipated, Ben Goodger, Google's Chrome interface lead, has explained in an email. It has also been revealed what toolkit the Linux version of Chrome will use: Gtk+.

Don't blame Ubuntu. Granted, Ubuntu is a very important one. But is there a distro anywhere on which Epiphany is the default? I suppose, perhaps, it is on Nuisance. But I'm not even certain of that.

The browser is *very* arguably the most important app in the stack. And Gnome throws theirs crumbs just to keep it alive. I'm a Gnome advocate. But their treatment of Epiphany gets a "Boo! Hiss!" from me.
